Southern Africa has one of the longest histories of occupation by modern humans and their ancestors anywhere in the over three million years. Research in Southern Africa is central to many key debates in contemporary archaeology, including hominid origins, the origins of anatomically modern humans and modern forms of behaviour, and the development of ethnographically informed perspectives for understanding its rich heritage of rock art. This is the first attempt at a synthesis of the subcontinent's past in over forty years.
